High-Power Delta Loop Repair – Water, Ice, and a Broken Ground

High-Power Delta Loop Repair - Water, Ice, and a Broken Ground

This was meant to be a quick 4:1 Balun check. It wasn’t.

What started as a bit of routine fault-finding turned into a frozen balun, a broken SO239 ground, and a reminder that antennas don’t always fail in sensible ways.

No drama, no theory lectures – just real-world diagnosis, repair, and getting back on the air.

BougeRV DC600 DC DC Alternator Charger 600 watt, Do you need this?

In this video I test the DC600 sent to me from from BougeRV. The BougeRV DC600 Alternator Charger is a DC-to-DC alternator charger designed to quickly recharge portable power stations using your vehicle’s alternator while you drive. It delivers up to 600 W of power with over 95 % efficiency, supports both 12 V and 24 V systems, and operates significantly faster than a standard 12 V outlet. With built-in 7-layer protection against overloads, short circuits, and voltage fluctuations, a quiet cooling system 50 dB, and dual control via a manual interface or smart app for real-time monitoring, it’s built for safe and reliable on-the-road charging for RVs, vans, trucks, and other mobile setups.

The All New HA2! Does it?

The All New HA2! Does it?

I like it when vendors accept feedback when there are problems. I like it even better when they fix them. And that’s why I like Chinese radios. All makers have problems, but not all OWN those problems like China does. Say what you want, but I don’t get that from Icom or Yaesu.
